I will list the names that are repeated, and groupings of similar names. I didn't type all of the single names because I don't have the time. This is a K-5 school, so the kids would have been born in the 1995-2001 time frame. This is in Arizona (obviously, considering my screen name!)
Biggest surprise... no Madisons.
(Disclaimer... the alphabetic order isn't perfect... don't have time to double check!)

Some thoughts on the full list...
Gentry -- is he one of the landed gentry? Sounds nice, but has elitist connotations.
Paris and Roman -- they should get together one day!
Michael, Matthew, Mark, Anthony, John, Jonathan, William, Andrew, Joseph, Charlie, Steven, Benjamin, Sam, Lawrence, Teddy, James, Pete, Daniel, Richard -- lots of traditional boys names
Only one Madeline, Emma, Maya, Grace, Annabella, Ainsley, Aubrey, Sarah -- but those names might be more popular with younger kids.
Grayson, Jackson, Spencer, Anderson, Taylor, Brody, Jensen -- Some of the last name as first name trend.
Alice -- I haven't heard that one in a long time! I like it.
Sydelle -- I've never heard that one before.
Karch -- reminds me of the Kartchner Caverns here in Arizona.
Shane -- Need at least one in a school in Arizona! My favorite birth announcement in the paper was Maverick Shane... that is a real Western name!
Some of the names (Katie/Charlie) looks like nicknames... don't know if that is their full name or if they are really named Katherine/Charlie, etc.
Lots of other names, but can't type them all!
